The Wisefab Narrow Lock Kit (for BMW E46) is similar to the PRO kit but with fewer features and it does not widen the car as much. This is particularly beneficial if you want to keep your car street-legal or avoid using excessive overfenders. This kit allows you to achieve a steering angle of up to 55 degrees.
- Increased roll center
The Wisefab suspension kit raises the front roll center even on lowered cars, increasing roll stiffness and allowing you to maximize lock by removing the front anti-roll bar (sway bar). - Steering geometry correction (Ackermann)
Normally, the inner wheel angle is greater than the outer wheel angle during cornering. For drifting, we have determined that this means a loss of speed and grip, which provides the best performance. - Good camber control at high steering angles
At high steering angles, the front wheels experience positive camber, which is not a positive effect. This reduces front grip and causes the contact patch to transition from the inner edge to the outer edge during a turn or flip. While this cannot be completely eliminated, we have minimized it as much as possible through geometry. - Steering jacking control
When drifting, high steering angles can sometimes cause excessive jacking with the same geometry, which can be problematic. We have monitored this and modified the geometry to ensure that no handling issues occur. - Predictable self-alignment control
With certain suspension geometries, the steering wheel may lock out at high steering angles, requiring the driver to apply force to flip the wheel back. We have identified the cause and minimized it, if not entirely eliminated it.

Before Ordering
〇 Regarding Import Consumption Tax
At Shaftoya Shopping Site, we pay the import consumption tax incurred at the time of import on your behalf, so there are no additional charges beyond the total amount paid at checkout.
〇 Checking Compatibility
All of our product databases are based on North American vehicles (USDM), so please check whether they can be installed on Japanese vehicles (JDM) before ordering. (If you are unsure whether the listed product is compatible with your vehicle, please feel free to contact us. Our support team will investigate for you.)
If you place an order without confirming compatibility, we cannot accept returns due to incompatibility.
Please note that even if products are sorted by selecting the year, manufacturer, and vehicle model using the tabs on our top page, this does not necessarily mean they will fit Japanese model vehicles without modification.
All products have been translated into Japanese using translation software. As there may be confusing expressions, please contact us before ordering if you have any questions.
○ Regarding Shipping
Shipping fees are paid at the time of payment. Shipping estimates are calculated automatically when you enter your shipping address on the checkout page. For large items such as body parts, there may occasionally be a significant discrepancy between the automatically calculated shipping fee and the actual shipping cost. In such cases, we will contact you individually via email.
In principle, all products are shipped internationally from our US warehouse. Unlike domestic shipping in Japan, international shipping takes about 7 to 14 days, so please order with time to spare. If you are in a hurry, please contact us in advance to confirm the delivery date. Note that all products are transported by air; they are never shipped by sea freight.
○ Regarding Japanese Vehicle Inspection (Shaken) Compatibility
The products we handle are basically all designed and manufactured outside of Japan. Please note that they are not compliant with the "Japanese Vehicle Inspection System," and we cannot provide strength calculation documents or similar paperwork for this system. Therefore, all parts are sold for the purpose of "use on circuits, private land, or off-road," and installation and use are at your own risk.
○ Regarding Warranty
Please check the contents of your order immediately upon arrival. As all products are shipped internationally from outside Japan, there is a possibility of shipping damage to the packaging or the products. We will provide returns, refunds, or replacement items only if you contact us within 7 days of receipt regarding products with shipping damage, defective products, or items different from your order. Please understand this policy. Furthermore, for products sold through us, we will handle warranty-related matters "only through us." Please note that we do not handle matters through other companies or distributors located within Japan.
